Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Namaste James, What you were referring to is one of the Nyasas. It is called Mahashodha Nyasa. This takes many years of study and practice where a sadhaka or sadhvika places planets, constellation, scared sites and other elements of Shree Lalita's cosmology on the body to acknowledge the identity of macrocosm and microcosm in tantrik traditions. For this 6-way nyasa, obeisances are made thus:- To Dakshinamurti, the Rishi, on the head; to the metre Gayatri in the mouth; to the Devi Mahatripurasundari, to Ganeshas, Planets, (27) Sidereal Constellations, Yoginis, 12 Rashis, the Sacred Sites (pithas) in the heart; obeisance to the application of this Shri Vidya limb nyasa, in the palm of the hand.
